Title:
  3rd party repos and do-release-upgrade

Status in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am running several ubuntu servers mostly for services using docker,
  nginx, samba, and others. I just ran yet another release upgrade from
  22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS.

  On do-release-upgrade, there are annoyances:

  During package installation, 3rd party repos are disabled. Ok, but why
  cannot you reenable repos of installed software after the upgrade,
  potentially also replacing release identifiers like jammy with noble?
  You could even test automatically, whether the "upgraded" reference
  supports the release and include these repos/packages installed from
  there in the upgrade.

  I don´t know whether this is a follow up issue or not, but some
  services have been masked during upgrade, which they shouldn´t. In any
  case, if there are side effects like the ones above, the upgrade
  should give a summary warning at the end, prior to recommending a
  reboot.
